PlayStation 4 sold 1 million units in first day of availability
SCEA President and CEO Jack Tretton predicted 3 million sales by the end of the year, and with the European launch to come, that's looking eminently realistic. Sony is targeting that figure to rise to 5 million by the close of the company's fiscal year in March 2014, by which point the console will have reached Japan.
According to data gatherer NPD, Sony only sold 197,000 PS3 units to the US in its first two weeks of availability, with shortages of supply to blame. Around this time last year, the Wii U sold 425,000 units in the US within its first week at retail, with Nintendo going on to ship 3 million units worldwide by the end of 2012.

LaserShow I'm predicting the Xbox One will sell 1.5 million at launch.
This is a fair and likely prediction. XB1 might have more sales in the coming weeks but both consoles will start to sell like crazy around Black Friday time so they should be almost nearly identical. Glad im picking up the one though :) Congrats Sony on 1 mil!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't say this is suprising. It'll be interesting to see how many Xbox One's are sold on release.

I'm thinking the Xbox One will outsell the PS4 at launch maybe not by that much though.

Monster-Munch Thats ok but i think the xbox one will have more.
We will have to wait and see until the release. I personally think the Xbox One will be a little ahead as well
